Geocache Description:



Benjamin Franklin Gates: You know, Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2,000 times to develop the carbonized cotton-thread filament for the incandescent light bulb.
Riley Poole: Edison?
Benjamin Franklin Gates: And when asked about it, he said "I didn't fail; I found out 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb," but he only needed one way to make it work: the Preservation Room. Enjoy. Go ahead. Do you know what the preservation room is for?
Riley Poole: Delicious jams and jellies?

The posted coordinates do not lead directly to the cache container. In order to find the actual coordinates, you must determine the two word password from the phosphorescent finger prints on the keypad.

Find the sum of the numeric values (A=1, B=2, C=3,...) of the letters in the first word of the password phrase. Add the sum to the existing decimal portion of the posted N coordinates.

Find the sum of the numeric values of the letters in the second word of the password phrase. Add the sum to the existing decimal portion of the W coordinates.

Check sum: The sum of the numeric values of all the letters in the pass phrase should equal 128.

This cache is a stand alone member of the Cache-ional Treasure series. It contains no solutions to any other cache in the series, nor does it need information from any other cache in the series.

The cache container holds a log and is large enough for small trade items as you choose. Bring your own pen. Please rehide securely to guard against run-off.

Congratulations to piratefarmers and SamanthaAnimalMaster on the FTF and their FFTF!
